BethLynchgrewupinruralEastSussex,

where her parents, avid gardeners, taught

her to love plants. As an adult she was

uprooted to Switzerland with her husband,

leaving behind the hellebores, geraniums,

aquilegias and cornflowers dear to her

heart. The move was a melancholy one.

Feeling herself lonely, she turned again to

the restorative magic of gardening to cure

her homesickness. This tender, wise book

shows how in doing so she reconnected

withallthatwasfamiliarandfound

happiness.(Weidenfeld & Nicolson)
